I finally finished “Journey to the Center of the Sun”, for Mini LD 61.

I’m way too tired to write a proper post-mortem, but I’ll be writing a full blog post on this game later in the week and posting it here.

Here are a couple of brief points about how it went:

1. I’m pretty happy with how the art turned out.

2. I drastically underestimated how long this “little game” would take (mostly due to hand-painting everything).

3. The gameplay is really, really simple…basically you walk around and talk to people in the correct order to win. This was on purpose so that I could really push myself on the art without having to spend a ton of time coding it.

4. I’m really bummed that I didn’t have time to add music or audio (well, I could have, but again I wanted to focus on the art). I was really tempted to dig my theremin out of the closet.

5. I’m tired.
